Peer-Reviewed Journals
SPE publishes five peer-reviewed technical journals. These journals bring you technical papers that have been through a rigorous process of review by technical experts, often resulting in revisions to the paper to improve its content, quality, and utility. Peer-reviewed journals offer the best way to keep up with important technologies and solutions in your discipline.
SPE's online journals have been redesigned to bring both subscribers and non-subscribers a range of new features. Check out what you can learn in SPE's online journals.
In February 2009, SPE's Board of Directors approved the launch of a new journal -- SPE Economics & Management. A peer review committee is being established, and then a call for papers will be issued. Look for more information about this timely new journal soon.
